BOSTON — Stuffed animals rained down from the crowd, as Meryl Davis and Charlie White smiled and skated off the ice arm in arm.

Champions once again.

Yes, we have seen this before. Six times, as a matter of fact.

Davis and White, who train at the Arctic Edge Ice Arena in Canton, won the dance title at the U.S. Championships for a record sixth time this afternoon. Five other teams had won five U.S. titles in dance but Davis and White separated themselves from an illustrious pack of former champions on a historic day at Boston’s TD Garden.

“It’s such an honor for us,” Davis said, after they earned 200.19 points.

“We are really proud of our consistency,” White said. “We have been lucky to be injury free, which is a big part of it.”

Davis stopped, bent down and knocked on some wood.

“Thanks, Meryl,” White said, with a laugh. “We are definitely going to enjoy this moment.”

Now, they are headed to the Sochi Olympic Games, after going undefeated for two straight years.

Madison Chock and Evan Bates, who train at the Novi Ice Arena, took second place with 181.44 points.

Maia Shibutani and her brother Alex, who also train in Canton, skated a program to Michael Jackson music. They finished in third with 170.44 points.

“A lot of emotions going through my head,” Alex Shibutani said. “To put out a performance today, like we did, in a very difficult situation, I have a lot of pride and happiness and love for each other.”

Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue, who train at the Detroit Skating Club, finished in fourth with 168.27 points.

After Hubbell land Donohoue skated, they had to wait to see how the Shibutanis did. At that moment, their future was still uncertain.

“It’s terrifying,” Donohue said.

A committee will determine which three teams will advance to the Sochi Games.

Davis and White are a lock.

So are Chock and Bates.

The Shibutanis are expected to go, but it could change.

“I think that there won’t be too many surprises after the results today,” Hubbell said. “I think U.S Figure Skating will honor the order. Because there are a lot of really great teams. I think the top three will deserve to go. I think we will know in the next seven minutes, and until then, my heart rate isn’t slowing down.”

■ More:Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir won the seniors pairs with 205.71.

“It wasn’t our best, we made a few mistakes,” Shnapir said. “We performed the heck out of that program. Great score. We’re thrilled with the end result.”

Felicia Zhang and Nathan Bartholomay were second with 201.72points.

“I think we are both on cloud nine,” Bartholomay said.

Two dance teams will qualify for the Olympic Team. While Castelli and Shnapir appear to be a lock, the second team isn’t sure.

A committee could decide to send Caydee Denney and John Coughlin, who took third with 201.43 points.

“As for the decision from the committee as to who goes to the Olympics, we know second isn’t locked in,” Bartholomay said. “We just feel it was a great competition and there was a wonderful audience, a really incredible event.”
